Dirtbaby finally done

[selfdestroyer]

Seems like I have been waiting forever for my knobs to come in, it was only 3 days but it felt like FOREVER.

This is by far my favorite sounding PT based delays that I have built and the 2nd runner up is a 1776 Effects Multiplex (They really are 2 different beasts since the multiplex is a great tape emulation). It really is the modulation that sells this for me as it sounds so lush and adds a whole other dimension to the delays.

The artwork may be familiar since it was used on another pedal I did a year ago but I loved it so much I really wanted to do a pedal that would be a staple on my board with it. The original artwork is from a bands cover art that I found on Google Images. I did a reverse etch and painted it with the Rust-Oleum 7250830 Metallic Spray and used a Dupli-Color clear coat. The knobs I used are silver aluminum knobs from Eagle Plastic Devices bought from Mouser. Eagle Plastic Devices make some great plastic & aluminum knobs.

The 3PDT breakout board was made in Diptrace and is available here if you wish to etch it for yourself.

Man, that looks slick!  Love the horizon and the deep blue sky...looks like night time.  I hope to build this one some time in the near future.

You forgot to wire it up!

Great looking build!

The knobs really compliment the bare exposed surface of the enclosure, very nicely done!

Man Cody! That is just beautiful. Josh's multiplex is one of my top three builds to play. Now I'm going to have to build this. The knobs really were a perfect choice. Fantastic. Truly inspiring.

Awesome build Cody.  I can see why you wanted to use that graphic again. Perfect for etching.
